Meet Our Featured Speakers

Frac Sand Canada 2026 is seeking presentations that focus on the following key topics:

• Frac sand market outlook with forecasts on supply and demands
• Improvements and innovations in rail loading, offloading, and transloading
• Cost reduction strategies and pricing dynamics shaping transport efficiency
• Advancing existing rail infrastructure, storage points, and system capacity
• Leveraging stronger local trucking networks and efficient last-mile logistics
• Multiple end-user case studies outlining technical needs and specifications

As North America experiences a period of stabilization in frac sand supply, largely driven by market factors affecting shale gas and tight oil production in the U.S. and Canadian plays, the supply chain faces significant challenges in finding more efficient ways to transport frac sand to existing well sites. Market suppliers are increasingly considering the use of existing rail networks to move frac sand between markets and well sites.

On the positive side, last year the average well used about 2,500 tons of frac sand, with many wells using twice that amount and some reaching as much as 10,000 tons. Although current market conditions are affecting orders from multiple well sites, the overall increase in frac stages and proppant intensity per well is supporting market stability. To navigate these conditions, frac sand producers need to implement new strategies and improve efficiencies across the supply chain to ensure the timely delivery of proppants to well sites.

Frac Sand Canada 2026 will offer professionals involved in the proppant supply chain and end-users an opportunity to share their experiences, present their findings, and exchange perspectives. Presentations addressing current challenges in frac sand markets, transportation and logistics, end-user case studies, and other timely, relevant topics are highly encouraged.

We invite you to participate in what promises to be a productive and engaging experience, providing the chance to collaborate with industry experts in this rapidly evolving market.
